Only 1%

Over the last few days I've been spending some time in the local private schools attached to the church denomination i work for. They are huge. 1100 girls at one and 1975 chaps at the other. When combining these schools with the local public school (another 1485 teens) i am potentially exposed to more than 3500 young people.

I'm always stunned when churches squabble over access, using lack of kids as the excuse. There are plenty of kids to go around.

With the numbers of only three local high schools, i wouldn't be able to cater for even 1%.

If only 0.5% of the closest schools students came on a Friday night then i would have over 50 teens.

I'd be more than happy with that number.
